A British startup is pitching an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) concept designed to move across difficult terrain while keeping a low profile to avoid detection by enemy forces.
Developed by Stratonex Defence Technologies, the modular VARAN platform is intended to support frontline troops across a range of missions, including counter-drone operations, logistics, electronic warfare, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR).
According to the company, VARAN uses passive sensing to map its surroundings without emitting radar or lidar signals that hostile forces could detect.
